Taylor & Francis The Tunisian Revolution and Democratic Transition
Book SynopsisDrawing on the history of post-independence Tunisia, the book studies the evolution of al-Naháah as a political party in Tunisia and its role in a protracted struggle to shape the post-authoritarian order along democratic lines. It explores al-Naháah's relationship with the Tunisian state, society and beyond that resulted in shaping its fluctuating expressions of ideology and practices.State repression, political participation, or internal differentiation (among other factors) place an Islamic movement (in this case al-Naháah) in such a situation that demands a perpetual self re-evaluation as well as implementation of ideology, objectives, and political programmes. The study explains how the socio-political setting in Tunisia demanded various ideologically opposite currents (Islamic, liberal, or leftist) to endure cross-ideological cooperation either to contest authoritarian regimes or to engage in the political process. It more importantly analyzes the tTrade Review"This dynamic account of al-Nahdah provides insightful analysis and a forthright, realistic, critical history. Dr. Sofi’s rich narrative illuminates Tunisian exceptionalism and unfolds the complex array of factors that shaped al-Nahdah’s evolution into a pragmatic political force supporting stability."Jonathan K. Zartman, Air Command and Staff College, USA"Dr Dawood Sofi has, by this book, established himself as an expert on the intricate relationship between efforts towards democratization and smooth Islamization in Tunisia, a case of shining success in the so-called Arab Spring process. The book fills a void by addressing the root causes of a successful contribution to democratization through an Islamist agenda."Cenap Çakmak, Anadolu University, Turkey"The book by Mohammad Dawood Sofi is a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the role of Ennahda in the recent history of Tunisia, from its origins to the post-Arab uprisings phase. As such it is a must-read not only for anyone working on the North African country from a political and sociological perspective but also for scholars and practitioners alike who are interested in the pivotal trajectory of one of the most successful Islamist parties in the Arab-Muslim world."Silvia Colombo, Istituto Affari Internazionali, Rome"This book is a welcome contribution to the study of the Tunisian transition and in particular the role that the Islamist party and its leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, played in it. It is a must-read for all those interested in understanding the origins and development of the party."Francesco Cavatorta, Université Laval, Canada"Mohammad Dawood Sofi's The Tunisian Revolution and Democratic Transition is an important and engaging in-depth study of the role of the Arab Spring and the trajectory of the Tunisian revolution. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the history, development and the significant and critical role that Hizb al-Nahda (the Renaissance Party) and its founder Rachid Ghannouchi have played in Tunisia's political transition from an autocracy to a struggling and emerging democracy." John L. Esposito, Georgetown University, United States and author of The Future of Islam"Mohammad Dawood Sofi provides an in-depth analysis of Tunisian political history with a focus on the role of Hizb al-Nahda in democratic transition in Tunisia since the fall of Bin Ali. The author offers a very interesting insight into this unique Tunisian case and explains the reasons for the success of al-Nahda in the country." Abdul Majid Khan, Aligarh Muslim University, India"Based on a comprehensive research, Sofi Dawood provides an important analysis on how Tunisia successfully evolved from authoritarianism into democratic governance. The Tunisian Revolution and Democratic Transition sheds light on the political, social, economic and constitutional developments that have shaped Tunisia’s exceptional path to democracy."

Taylor & Francis Ltd The German Election of 2005
Book SynopsisThe election of 2005 changed Germany's political landscape'. The combined share of the vote gained by the two major parties fell below 70 per cent, eliminating the option of a coalition between one of the two major parties (Christian Democrats and Social Democrats) with one of the smaller parties the traditional pattern of government that had dominated German post-war politics since the late 1950s. The election resulted in the first national Grand Coalition' of the two major parties since 1969. While some have seen this government, elected in November 2005 and headed by the Christian Democrat Angela Merkel, as the symptom of a crisis of the traditional post-war German party system, others have highlighted the opportunities it opens up for constitutional and policy reform as Merkel's Grand Coalition' controls an overwhelming majority of the votes in both houses of the German legislature.

Taylor & Francis The Chinese Communist Party as Organizational Emperor
Book SynopsisThe Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest and one of the most powerful, political organizations in the world today, which has played a crucial role in initiating most of the major reforms of the past three decades in China. Chinaâs rapid rise has enabled the CCP to extend its influence throughout the globe, but the West remains uncertain whether the CCP will survive Chinaâs ongoing socio-economic transformation and become a democratic country.With rapid socio-economic transformation, the CCP has itself experienced drastic changes. Zheng Yongnian argues that whilst the concept of political party in China was imported, the CCP is a Chinese cultural product: it is an entirely different breed of political party from those in the West - an organizational emperor, wielding its power in a similar way to Chinese emperors of the past. Using social and political theory, this book examines the CCPâs transformation in the reform era, and how it is now struggling to maintain the coTrade Review"This book is ideal reading for scholars interested in political science, Chinese politics, and the CCP. It is also valuable for those looking for an overview of the historical development of the CCP."- Fidy Xiangxing Hong, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong; Journal of Chinese Political Science (2012) 17Table of Contents1.
